In Him

I want to bring into recognition a sport that is under appreciated.  Most people would have played it at one time at least in their lives.  The sport of clothesline wrestling.  The involves trying to hang washing on the line whilst it is windy.  A hills hoist is a must as this allows the clothesline to play too, making it a competitive sport.  Some keep their pegs in a basket near the washing, other have them strategically aligned on the wires, others give some advantage to the clothesline (or wind, depending on your philosophy) by putting them in a rather large container and hanging it on the end of one of the posts.  This of course allows you to be knocked out as it goes by at a rate of knots!  The enjoyment of playing this sport is neverending.  You get to duck and weave, perhaps holding on to an already pegged item with all your strength to reach for another, toning for the whole body.  I’m sure gusty conditions favour the clothesline much more than the person, this allows the clothes to whip and splat you in the face and or head.  In saying this I’ve just finished a round whilst competing in somewhat hazardous conditions, gusty wind, bright sun and wasps added for extra danger!

Phew! - Time for lunch me thinks.

I didn’t “get” facebook for a bit there.  Now I understand that you just get on there, play games, see what others are writing and comment.  When I first began (way back last week!) I felt like I had to say what I was doing all the time and it felt very weird.  Now, it’s better with more friends and more things to do (and be a fan of!!! lol)

I tried it and felt unsafe with having some info up there, so I edited it.  Now after another day of it, I just don’t get it.  I don’t usually write about myself (as you would know if you follow my blog!) so it’s weird to be posting about yourself all the time.  It’s very now and me mentality, which is so not me! I’m gonna keep my account for as long as I can stand it, but it’s feels SO mainstream, and I don’t know how long I can hold out for……(I think my category on it says it all!)

I saw this on Phil Bakers Blog.

Just couldn’t resist posting it myself.

I have no words...

This is my new look, I hope you like it.  I tried to have another design, but it didn’t upload properly.  I decided to go with this because it’s simple and the header colours I’ve chosen are pretty.  Comment if you like.

Natasha's Sculpture

I first heard of this today at Peasoup who heard of it from Simple Sparrow.

This is my entry for today-Natasha’s Sculpture of Mandarins, Tangellos and Oranges.

I planted some bird seed. A bird came up. Now I don’t know what to feed it.
I had amnesia once — or twice.
I went to San Francisco. I found someone’s heart. Now what?
Protons have mass? I didn’t even know they were Catholic.
All I ask is a chance to prove that money can’t make me happy.
If the world was a logical place, men would ride horses sidesaddle.
What is a “free” gift? Aren’t all gifts free?
They told me I was gullible … and I believed them.

How can there be self-help “groups”?
Is there another word for synonym?
Where do forest rangers go to “get away from it all”?
The speed of time is one-second per second.
Is it possible to be totally partial?
If swimming is so good for your figure, how do you explain whales?
It’s not an optical illusion. It just like one.

Over the time I’ve had this blog I have been happily updating my blogroll and not realising it hasn’t been displaying ANY of the changes I’ve made.  I use my favourites in my browser to read them, not my blogroll, so I haven’t realised.  Just now I tried to get into the code and change things, yet still it isn’t displying properly.  This is an appology to anyone who thinks they should be on there, and I know there are a few.  I want them to be there and am attempting to put them up.  bear with me.
